The 3D Printing Area at Pikes Peak Makerspace (PPM) consists mostly of Level 2 equipment.
Additional PPM training is required to use any of our Level 2 equipment.
Our trainers are passionate about sharing their knowledge and ensuring a positive learning experience for all.
We are grateful for their commitment and dedication to our community.
No reservations are required for any of our 3D Printers at this time, they are "first-come, first-served".
3D Printing Area hand tools should be marked with orange tape or paint.
Contact Us if you cannot find your answer here on our Wiki or if you notice any information that is outdated.

Hazardous Chemicals
- All hazardous chemicals must be stored in the yellow hazardous chemical storage cabinet located in the Vented Room.
- Review the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) information of unknown products before use.
- SDS information is available via the QR code on the hazardous chemical storage cabinet or this spreadsheet.
- Do not bring dangerous chemicals to the makerspace.
- Spray paint, stains, and other approved items must be stored in the hazardous chemical storage cabinet in the Vented Room.
- Please DO NOT paint indoors.

Impairment
- The use of PPM equipment requires you to be alert, attentive, and focused.
- Do not use any PPM work area, or any PPM tools, if you are under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
Classes
- Chris MacNicol
- PPM announces its Upcoming events, including classes, on Meetup
- Contact Us if you are a Non-PPM Member but would like to RSVP for our SLA Printing Class.
- To help out in the 3D Printing Area at PMM, use our #3d-printing channel on Slack.
Training
- FDM vs SLA 3D Printing — according to the "new Bing"
- "FDM and SLA are two different types of 3D printing technologies that use different materials and methods to create parts. FDM stands for fused deposition modeling, and SLA stands for stereolithography. Here are some of the main differences between them:
- FDM uses a heated nozzle to extrude melted plastic filament one layer at a time on a build platform. SLA uses a UV laser to cure liquid resin one layer at a time in a resin tank.
- FDM can print with a variety of thermoplastic materials, such as ABS, PLA, PETG, and nylon. SLA can print with different types of resin materials, such as standard, engineering, and dental resins.
- FDM has more color options and similar strength in the X and Y directions than SLA. SLA has better surface finish, detail, and speed than FDM.
- FDM is cheaper, more user-friendly, and more reliable than SLA. SLA is more expensive, requires more post-processing, and is more sensitive to environmental factors than FDM.
- FDM is suitable for basic proof-of-concept models, quick and low-cost prototyping, and simple parts that might be machined. SLA is ideal for high-detail parts, molds, patterns, and functional parts that require tight tolerances and smooth surfaces."
- Intro to SLA 3D Printing
- Anycubic resin settings
- Be sure to log your job on the "SLA Printer USAGE FORM".
- Clear the resin trays of the SLA printers carefully and completely to avoid cross-contamination.
